Human Footprint Urban Sprawl Deforestation Global Warming

Thanks to sell off band linkin park, that no longer allow me to put this video with the 'what i've done' song. Its not like I was not making money out of this. I regret I bought your DVD. Urban Sprawl use too much land and therefor harvest large quantities of forest. Human Footprints is a video that shows what kind of markes we left behin and how urban sprawl has a major roleplay in wasting our land that leads to Global Warming.

You grow up, get married, move into a fat-assed house ten feet from another fat-assed house, get a fucking big tv, two cars, a dog, make babies, send them to public school, spend the rest of your days working off debt, die in a drugged stupor at age 78 not even remembering your own name.

I think it's depressing. Think of how much more we could accomplish if we weren't so fucking lazy and used more than 2% of our brains for something besides breeding.

@CanadiaNecro1 Thanks for your comment.

Urban sprawl isn't going to stop until the Canadian Government caps immigration levels to below 'replacement' levels (less than 80,000 per year). There is no way we can continue with our completely unsustainable, absurdly high levels of immigration--over a QUARTER MILLION a year--and not have sprawl.

Regardless of how dense you build new developments, you'll be using former farmland and greenspace. We need to stand up to the developers' lobby and impose a hard cap on immigration, as in the UK.

acsial: I have to disagree with your comment; because I think Canada is a great country and we should share it with the world. As much as the world share theirs. I think immigration is a benefit to Canada and we are able to accomodate more than now. For example: If Canada would have the same Pop. Density as NY metro area, we could all live in an area the size of Nova-Scotia. That leaves us with plenty of space, clean water and fresh air. This is my point of view. Thanks. Good comment.

Planet suburbia... funny, it's America that's almost completely suburbanized not the rest of the world. No wonder us transportation is so bad. Here, the car is king. Americans need to wake up and realize this ISN'T the greatest country in the world and that it is not so much the world as it is America.

LIked your video and hope it's not too late for the rest of the World to wake up.

@adamgomori In APARTMENTS AND HIGH DENSITY HOUSING LIKE WE'VE DONE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!!!!!

[MrBeautifulba1]

@CanadiaNecro1 Well said. And for the reasons you have stated, that is why I will never have children. To hell with this barbie plastic strip mall.

[longname25]

The Car is the reason why we have urban sprawl in the first place. If you do not have a car, you are socially as well as finacially isolated. We are wasting our resources just to get from point a to point b. the car dependency will ruin the economy as well as the environment.

@presidentofeveryone well that sounds more like an economical problem but I suppose it is a problem non the less. I actually agreed with the Arizona law that was passed but it was stumped on so I don't think problems with immigration will get solved any time soon.

[PenOpticon]

@123456dl: totally agree that high density is preferred over sprawl, though NYC still has big problems like waste and recycling to solve. Big populations -- especially big affluent populations -- consume big. Is immigration, a practice that typically moves money and brains from poor places to wealthy places sustainable or "good" for the world as a whole? I don't know. Can we take easy immigration (via jet travel) for granted or will it become too expensive over the next decade or so?

@CanadiaNecro1 actually man in suburban dwellings today the yards are the size of a postage stamp and the houses are soo close together that I could touch my neighbor's wall just by putting my hand out of the window.

[cocoaocean]

Home Ownership programs are to blame, it they could just get the fucking St. Augustine grass Natzis out the (rich) hood thing would look up. Instead they wont stop till it is a desert and can freely bomb here. Nature rests the mind. the mind rests with nature. No I'm not a fag.

@acsial I agree with you on birth rates, people around the world must voluntary stop having so many kids or the earth will go into chaos and anarchy(or governments will be forced to institute a policy like China's). I also that religious aspect needs to be addressed (people won't use birth control because "god" will decide how many kids they have).

I do believe that we should also invest in tools to prepare for a growing population, such as waste water recycling, and urban gardening.
